Unable to Find Acceptable Employment

If acceptable employment is not found by the time the applicant is due to begin NTLP Summer Instructional Modules the applicant may choose to:

• Withdraw the application, OR
• Attend the NTLP Summer Instructional Modules

If the applicant withdraws the application:

• The program fee will be refunded (click below), and all application materials will be sent back to the applicant.
• The applicant will NOT be eligible for a teaching license (during the 2008-2009 school year).
• The applicant may choose to reapply to the program in the future (meeting all current program requirements at that time).
  
  NTL Program Fee Refund Policy - Deadline August 1, 2008

If the applicant chooses to attend the NTLP Summer Instructional Modules:

• The program fee is used to pay for the instruction, books and materials associated with the administration of the program.
• The applicant WILL be eligible for a teaching license pending completion of all NTLP requirements.
• The applicant may continue to look for and accept a teaching position through September 1, 2008.
• As of September 1, if acceptable employment is not found, the applicant automatically goes “On Hold*” in the program (see definition below).

On Hold: Participants in the NTLP have three (3) years to complete the two-year program. If a participant has completed the NTLP Summer Instructional Modules and is unable to find appropriate employment, either on his or her own, or through the Office of Teacher Recruitment by September 1 the participant would be on “hold" in the program.

The participant would not attend any monthly (Saturday) Instructional Modules, but could continue to look for and accept a teaching position in the appropriate licensure area(s). Once the participant is hired in a full-time position he or she would start attending monthly Instructional Modules in the month employment is gained, and make up any missed modules. This could result in the participant requiring more than the two years for program completion. However, under no circumstances could a participant take more than three (3) years to complete two years of the program.
